Mrs. Field's Chocolate Chip Cookies and Cafe Rio!!!

I've tried a lot of chocolate chip recipes in my life. Ahem. A LOT!!! This one was given to me by my friend Carmonie Russell. It is the blue ribbon winner in my book. It makes a h-u-g-e batch which we use a couple of dozen at a time. I refrigerate the rest and we bake them fresh every couple of nights for a bed time snack. Enjoy with a tall glass of Reed's Dairy milk. ***I admit, the ink is still wet on my New Year's Resolution to lose some weight. But hey, they are that good!

I have a recipe that makes a huge amount about 100 chocolate chip cookies and we can't eat that many at once so I make them all into round balls with an small ice cream scoop and freeze what I don't bake. Then when ever I need cookies for someone or something it is so easy to pull out the frozen ones and bake off as many as I need and put the rest back in the freezer for the next time.

I like your new background. Those cookies sound delicious! We'll have to try them...just what we needed...another excuse to eat something yummy. I'm glad to see you're as excited as we are for Cafe Rio!

About Us

I am honored to be married to my husband extraordinaire Joseph, for 15 years. Our joy is full (most days) because we are blessed to have these children in our family: Joshua (12yrs), Emma (10 yrs), Caleb (7yrs), and Elizabeth (5 yrs.). I enjoy camping with my family, cooking, reading, playing and teaching the violin and blogging. Our story began over 15 years ago at Ricks College. We have moved 9 times in 14 years, but have come full circle to the city where we were married and sealed in the LDS temple.
